AGRICULTURE

2012 Election Cycle

Total Donated

$426,081

Contributions

383

Unique Donors

123

The Agriculture Γ— 2012 intersection totals $476,013. Itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov produced 411 lines from 135 donors. Lifetime storage for the same exact string is $5,317,336; 2012 is about 9.0% of that figure. The join is self-reported industry word, not a farm census, not USDA program spending, a NAICS agriculture rollup, or a farm-bureau PAC.

Key figures

  • Join total: $476,013 for Agriculture in the 2012 cycle.
  • Volume: 411 itemized contributions, 135 donors (about 3.0 lines per donor).
  • 9.0% of the $5,317,336 lifetime grouping is this window.
  • Exact string AGRICULTURE; neighboring spellings are other keys.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

The Agriculture Γ— 2012 join

LobbyVault stores FEC employer/industry strings separately from election cycles. Crossing them for Agriculture and 2012 yields $476,013. That is 411 itemized lines and 135 unique donors. The figure is not a committee’s reported disbursement. FEC.gov remains the underlying source.

Self-reported industry word, not a farm census can collide with similar form text. This join uses the exact grouping AGRICULTURE. Related employer words, abbreviations, and occupation titles are not added. The 135 donor identities are contributor keys, not a headcount of a workforce.

Dropping either filter changes the story. Drop the year and you see $5,317,336. Drop the string and you see the entire 2012 cycle. This page holds both filters at once.

Lifetime Agriculture money versus 2012

A lifetime figure of $5,317,336 can swallow a single cycle if the join is skipped. 2012 is $476,013, about 9.0%. The leftover $4,841,323 belongs on other cycle pages for the same string, not in this cell.

$5,317,336 is still only this exact grouping. It is not every related company name and not a sector total. 9.0% describes 2012 inside Agriculture, nothing else. $5,317,336 is the running sum for exact string AGRICULTURE. 2012 contributes $476,013 (9.0%); the complement is $4,841,323 (91.0%). Changing one character in the employer field would move money to another grouping and change both the numerator and the denominator.
